  12. Expand your tastes to enjoy a variety of foods.

  13. Be Adventurous • Pick up one new food item every time you shop. • Delight your taste buds with new low-fat recipes. • Experiment with whole grains, soyfoods and nuts.

  14. Eat a rainbow of plants. Plants offer powerful, cancer-fighting phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, along with great taste.

  15. Balance the food you eat … … and the physical activity you do over several days.

  16. Be Flexible • Go light with other meals after a bigger breakfast. • Eat a regular burger and share an order of fries. • Big dinner plans? Walk before or after the meal.

  17. Balance your fat choices. EAT MORE: • Fatty fish (two times per week) • Nuts and seeds • Olive oil, canola oil and soft margarine EAT LESS: • Commercial baked foods • Snack and fast foods • Fat on poultry and meat • Full fat dairy products

  18. Enjoy all foods, just don’t overdo it.

  19. Skip super-size options. PORTION DISTORTION Regular Fast Food Meal: • 627 calories • 19 grams of fat • 1/3 cup sugar Super-Size Fast Food Meal: • 1,805 calories • 84 grams of fat • 3/4 cup sugar

  20. Be Sensible • Eat regularly, eat slowly and savor your meals. • Serve snacks in a small bowl instead of the bag. • Ask for extra forks and share your dessert.

  21. Tips for Dining Out To enjoy beef sensibly in restaurants: • Ask for petite or smaller cuts. • Order beef broiled, roasted or grilled. • Ask for sauces on the side. • Trim visible fat before eating. • Share a larger cut with a friend. • Visualize 3 ounces as the size of a deck of cards.

  22. Walk the dog … … don’t just watch the dog walk.

  23. Be Active • Take time each day to play with (or without) kids. • Take a 10-minute walk instead of a coffee break. • Join a dance class, a swim class or a yoga class.

  24. Fit fitness into every day. Every step counts, so get off the couch and start moving … walking, dancing, biking, swimming, gardening …just do it!!
